Rain Reschedules Ocala Races

. Posted in Racing News

ZUBER, FL- Nature has not been kind to the Florida racing world this
summer, and Ocala Speedway has endured more than enough nights off due to rain
or wet conditions. So as thunderstorms and showers rumbled all around the
speedway, Mike Peters and the staff at Ocala Speedway kept a positive attitude
and focused on getting the track ready for racing. Even after a late afternoon
shower dampened things, those preparations continued and a large crowd showed up
to watch a night of racing.

But as the heat races got underway more
weather woes developed west of the track and began moving toward Zuber, and by
the time the Open Wheel Modified heat races were beginning there were rumblings
not far from the track. Peters and his crew remained determined, and as rain
began to fall it was announced to the crowd that racing would continue after a
delay. Unfortunately, the rain also continued, and showers persisted until
almost 11PM before Peters finally gave in and postponed the night's events. And
over an hour after the lights were out and most folks had gone home, that
persistent rain continued to fall.

All events scheduled for Friday, July
31st, are nor rescheduled for Friday, August 21st. Racers are to keep their arm
bands for pit admission, and fans should hold onto their ticket stubs to be
readmitted on the 21st. The program will resume on August 21st where it ended
due to rain. Because the Hobby Stock race was scheduled as a $1000 to win, 30
lap event, that field will be locked on the 21st and no new additional cars can
be added. Any additions to other divisions will be added to the tail of their
respective races on the 21st. The heat race for the Mini Stock division was
completed, so the field for that feature will be set by the results from that
race.

In the meantime, Ocala Speedway will be taking some time off in
August for rest and to allow some general maintenance to be completed on the
facilities and the track. There will be no racing at Ocala on Friday, August
7th, or the 14th. Racing will resume on August 21st with the make up races, and
will continue on August 28th as the Late Models return to Ocala Speedway.
